Quotable
"This is obviously not the finish we wanted. We positioned ourselves well and didn't capitalize on a great opportunity to beat some ranked teams. We need to learn from this and keep putting ourselves in position to win. This fall season has been a learning experience for this young squad, we had many highlights that we will build on this off season. Individually we had some great results, our goal in the spring will be to work on consistency and putting together three rounds as a team."
